SmackDown LIVE preview, Oct. 17, 2017: Roode and Ziggler clash in WWE Hell in a Cell rematch

At WWE Hell in a Cell, Bobby Roode beat Dolph Ziggler at his own game, grabbing a handful of The Showoff’s tights to ensure his first pay-per-view appearance was victorious and glorious. But when Ziggler blindsided him with a Zig Zag after the bell, Roode was furious. Last week on SmackDown LIVE, The Glorious One challenged Ziggler to a fight, only for The Showoff to back away. There will be no turning back, though, when the two square off tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!

[Triple A]

Why does 1 of the mods keep sloppily merging / breaking random threads

[Triple A]

ready to watch smackdown

thankful that Cesaro, Sheamus, Gallows, Anderson, Bray Wyatt and Finn Balor are not on SmackDown

[Anybody Thrilla]

This is gonna feel different when I'm not skipping commercials, but at least I get to hang out with all of you cools guys who rule.

[rez]

HERE WE GO! BE BETTER THAN LAST WEEK, PLZ

[Lock Jaw]

Michael Cole on Smackdown

oh no

[Emperor Smeat]

:| Cole filling in tonight.

Maybe his mic won't have mysteriously random problems like on RAW for the past several months.

[Triple A]

omg really good... felt "dread" that there would be a cesaro and sheamus and/or gallows and anderson match immediately after this segment but it's not gonna happen cause they are on raw, not smackdown... really good

[Anybody Thrilla]

Damn, they go hard for Bryan.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Crowd goes wild for 6-woman tag match. What's going on here?

[Triple A]

crowd is pumped about the six woman tag match

[Lock Jaw]

D-Bry's hair getting longer again...... like him better with shorter hair.......

[Anybody Thrilla]

If they're gonna keep Zayn's theme, does he still have to dance? Maybe he's "trolling" or whatever, but it feels weird.

Really should change the theme, though. People are still singing it, for fuck sake.

[rez]

Sami could kill a kitten live on television and I wouldn't see him as a heel.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That's a new tactic. Blatantly ask the crowd if they think you're a heel.

[ClockShot]

I'll be in and out here.

Watching the Yankee game and this.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I kinda like this Sami.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Solid stick work from Mr. Zayn.

[KIRA]

Ok Sami got exactly one good line so far

[ClockShot]

Gotta get me a Bullet Club shirt.

[KIRA]

He sounds exactly like Billy Mays I swear

[KIRA]

Ok ok Sami getting people to hate him good job

[Evil Vito]

Sami's heel work is brilliant in this promo.

[Anybody Thrilla]

This handicap mic attack may be too much for Bryan to handle.

[Anybody Thrilla]

KO should headbutt Bryan too.

[KIRA]

You know whats good about Zayns promo

his candor its not over the top smug but it is irritating as hell.

[Anybody Thrilla]

You know whats good about Zayns promo

his candor its not over the top smug but it is irritating as hell.

Agreed. He's not snarling and screaming and telling the fans to stick it. Really solid performance here.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Daniel Bryan was good there too.

[KIRA]

Took forever for somebody to point that out

[Lock Jaw]

Liked Sami better this week, but still can't help but think about how genuine/real/humble he seemed as a face in NXT and everything else just feels slightly forced.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Carmella is conspicuous by her absence in that 6-woman. Is tonight the night?

[Lock Jaw]

Jinder Mahal with a Survivor Series announcement

oh no

[KIRA]

They are really laying into DB It must hurt his soul to keep being reminded that he can't kick people in the head anymore

[slik]

Damn...someone undid my mod abuse

[slik]

KO had some points, sorry DBry

[slik]

Random Thot: What if this entire time Scott Steiner was yelling "Haku, if you hear me" b/c he needed to tell his friend Haku something important

[Anybody Thrilla]

Liked Sami better this week, but still can't help but think about how genuine/real/humble he seemed as a face in NXT and everything else just feels slightly forced.

Makes sense in kayfabe. He thought that once he finally broke through in NXT, he'd be respected and given opportunities to shine, but his time on the main roster hasn't turned out the way he had hoped. Something had to give. I think it was all executed logically, which is more than we can say about most things.

[Lock Jaw]

Becky going to have her entrance in a commercial.....

oh no

[Anybody Thrilla]

I just tried to fast forward the DVR out of habit.

[KIRA]

Liked Sami better this week, but still can't help but think about how genuine/real/humble he seemed as a face in NXT and everything else just feels slightly forced.

Actually think he sounds and acts like someone who was a nice guy and got kicked around for it would act.

Its not really a 180 its just an epiphany and bitterness

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, not saying it isn't good. Just saying that in the back of my mind I am always thinking of what could have been, and what was.

[Emperor Smeat]

Opening promo segment was really good.

[Lock Jaw]

Wish they would turn Charlotte heel again..... works much better as a heel......

[Anybody Thrilla]

Actually think he sounds and acts like someone who was a nice guy and got kicked around for it would act.

Its not really a 180 its just an epiphany and bitterness

Yeah. Especially since he's not all "FUCK THE FANS". He seems like he's just focusing differently now.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Ah, there she is. Probably not the night then.

[slik]

BREAKING: Nia Jax on "Leave of Absence" supposedly walked out of RAW last night

[Anybody Thrilla]

Remember how shitty Team BAD was?

[KIRA]

Yeah. Especially since he's not all "FUCK THE FANS". He seems like he's just focusing differently now.

Right like he doesn't necessarily see himself as a bad guy its just that he "gets it now"

[slik]

I wonder if Lana will do any moves in this match

[Lock Jaw]

Smackdown always has a weird thing now where they will go to break, and cut all the audio, but the picture will stay on the screen for another 1 second before actually going to break......... bothers me......

[Anybody Thrilla]

I wonder if Lana will do any moves in this match

Hopefully it's a move where her tits pop out.

[Lock Jaw]

Carmella getting hot watching these six women go at it

[KIRA]

Theyre just not gonna tag lana I guess

[slik]

Lana showing these cunts how it is done

[Emperor Smeat]

Remember how shitty Team BAD was?

The whole Women's Revolution from the debut of the teams till they broke away was handled pretty badly. Didn't help WWE pettiness against Punk also carried over to AJ Lee's title record.

:lol: at one of the team's being named Submission Sorority I think and WWE quickly realizing it was a porn name.

[Anybody Thrilla]

It feels like Charlotte changes alignment about as often as Big Show.

[Lock Jaw]

Lana seems bad at facials

[Lock Jaw]

(In the ring, not with Rusev)

[KIRA]

Charlotte is just lucky Asuka is being sent to RAW

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why do the women always have to hug each other when they're babyfaces? Can't they just high five or bump fist like normal fighters?

[Lock Jaw]

Lots of audio feedback in this backstage segment.......

[KIRA]

Seriously some wrestlers are just born to be heels Charlotte is one of them

[slik]

Wait...why is Tom Phillips "on assignment" for several weeks....Neville....Nia Jax...Tom Phillips...where there is smoke there is Demon Kane fire...something is UP!

[KIRA]

Oh you mean like MEN:shifty:

[KIRA]

They are all getting the boot

[Anybody Thrilla]

Oh you mean like MEN:shifty:

Yeah. I'm trying do deconstruct the entire women's revolution one degrading comment at a time.

[Lock Jaw]

Wait...why is Tom Phillips "on assignment" for several weeks....Neville....Nia Jax...Tom Phillips...where there is smoke there is Demon Kane fire...something is UP!

Maybe Tom is off Face F'ing Nia Jax.

Much to Byron's dismay.

[Triple A]

Wait...why is Tom Phillips "on assignment" for several weeks....Neville....Nia Jax...Tom Phillips...where there is smoke there is Demon Kane fire...something is UP!

What did they say about him, wasn't paying attention

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the size of the needle for Breeze

[slik]

He's "On assignment" for several weeks

[Anybody Thrilla]

I don't think I really dig all this.

[KIRA]

I knew Breeze was gonna be playing Uma Thurman

[slik]

Lone Coyote Bear Carbon

[Emperor Smeat]

What did they say about him, wasn't paying attention

Just him being "on assignment" but didn't say for what. Probably just requested some time off to deal with something on the side like Nigel did recently.

[Lock Jaw]

Didn't find that one too amusing

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm not sure if I would have told the viewing audience that Baron Corbin would be wrestling after the commercial.

[Lock Jaw]

I'm not sure if I would have told the viewing audience that Baron Corbin would be wrestling after the commercial.

But what if they told you he was facing Sin Cara?!

[Lock Jaw]

Sin Cara new mask atrocious

[Lock Jaw]

Looks like he botched a headband

[Lock Jaw]

SIN CARA WINS!!!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Corbin losing to Sin Cara.

[Anybody Thrilla]

But what if they told you he was facing Sin Cara?!

:'(

OK, what was the point in any of that?

[Lock Jaw]

Baron Corbin has a weakness against luchadores

[Anybody Thrilla]

"I know all about that rap stuff" :lol:

[Lock Jaw]

Chad Gable barely taller than Renee Young

[Anybody Thrilla]

I wonder whose face Jinder will be making fun of heading into Survivor Series.

[Lock Jaw]

Every time I see Jinder I can't help but think "Is this even real? How did this become a thing?"

[Lock Jaw]

If Bludgeon Brothers don't use their giant hammers on their opponents then don't bother

[Anybody Thrilla]

Who wore the sledgehammer better: Bludgeon Brothers or Triple H?

[Emperor Smeat]

If Bludgeon Bros was the best name they could think of for Rowan and Harper, hate to think what the possible rejected names were.

[Lock Jaw]

Spoiler Alert: Jinder keeps the title until at least December 8/9th are passed.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Jinder DOES have a really cool entrance and a sweet theme.

[Anybody Thrilla]

How awesome would it be if the fans in India all rapped along to Jinder's theme like people sing to Nakamura's?

[Emperor Smeat]

Still can't believe they fed Nakamura to Jinder twice.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I can't believe they're actually going through with this.

[Anybody Thrilla]

...is Jinder going to beat Brock Lesnar?

[KIRA]

I don't know why the idiots backstage(and JR ) told Jinder to tone it down when he talks

[Anybody Thrilla]

Now Styles vs. Lesnar would be tight. Not so much the Jinder thing.

[Lock Jaw]

Thank goodness AJ Styles is here...... he has to be involved somehow.......

I don't know if even Paul Heyman could sell a Lesnar/Jinder Mahal match......

[KIRA]

.....They are really gonna do it.....

[Anybody Thrilla]

Please don't feed AJ to Jinder. Please don't feed AJ to Jinder. PLEASE don't feed AJ to Jinder.

[KIRA]

It wouldve been better to keep Nakamura away from the belt till they were ready for him to have it
instead He beat Nakamura twice nd I don't understand WWE logic

[Emperor Smeat]

Compared to recent weeks, Jinder's promo was pretty decent.

[KIRA]

Compared to recent weeks, Jinder's promo was pretty decent.

It was the last ones were crowd killers it was sad

[Lock Jaw]

Compared to recent weeks, Jinder's promo was pretty decent.

.... That's not really saying much.....

[Anybody Thrilla]

To be a WWE champion, it is necessary to be sorta not that bad sometimes.

[Anybody Thrilla]

AJ vs. one of the Bollybros. Ho boy.

[rez]

I've been playing Splatoon 2...have I missed anything since the Charlotte/Nat thing?

[KIRA]

Is it just me or is Jinder rocking a mullet

[Lock Jaw]

Very relieved that AJ Styles is back in the main event picture..... now hopefully he can win the title and things can get back on track.......

But they already spoiled that Jinder will keep the title until December.......

[Lock Jaw]

Is it just me or is Jinder rocking a mullet

His hair does have a party in the back

[slik]

Dolph's buttcrack

[Anybody Thrilla]

I've been playing Splatoon 2...have I missed anything since the Charlotte/Nat thing?

Is that any good? Just got my son a Switch that came with it.

[Lock Jaw]

AJ vs. one of the Bollybros. Ho boy.

TUNE IN NEXT WEEK!!!

I dunno if admitting this is the right thing to do but ........I really Liked Roodes TNA "off the chain instrumental theme "

And you didn't get yourself one? Yeah, it's pretty good. A very casual shooter game where painting the battle field with your team's paint color is more important than shooting 'em for the win.

[Anybody Thrilla]

So Ziggler still has exit music? That's dumb.

[slik]

Bobby Buttcrack

[Lock Jaw]

Ha ha..... spotted a "SSSSSUUUUUUUUUUSSSSAAAAAANNNNNN" sign

[Evil Vito]

Aaaaand I'm out of Survivor

[KIRA]

HOLY---

[Anybody Thrilla]

Steenerico reunion

[Emperor Smeat]

So Ziggler still has exit music? That's dumb.

Guess he's only really upset with entrance music or someone in the WWE really didn't think this idea through for Ziggler. Probably the latter knowing the WWE.

[ClockShot]

Totally like Ziggler's modified theme. Did not know all this time WWE themes were played on a record player.

Nice to see Sin Cara is still around.

Poor Jinder's gonna get killed fighting Lesnar.

[Lock Jaw]

Guess he's only really upset with entrance music or someone in the WWE really didn't think this idea through for Ziggler. Probably the latter knowing the WWE.

I guess once you come out and win a match, you can be as flashy as you want because you already "took care of business"

[Anybody Thrilla]

Nice to see Sin Cara is still around.

For what reason?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why can't those guys talk?

[Evil Vito]

That girl in the hall wanted to jump Aiden English's bones.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Rusev's theme on the trombone is kinda hilarious.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hahahahahaha damn it, I love Rusev.

[Lock Jaw]

Like Woods playing Rusev theme....... was so good when he did that last time.....

[slik]

"Survivor Series is the one event a year where RAW and SD stars can face each other"

Kane is on SD and was on RAW this week.

[slik]

Not to mention the Royal Rumble

[Lock Jaw]

"Survivor Series is the one event a year where RAW and SD stars can face each other"

Kane is on SD and was on RAW this week.

Pretty sure he said "one of the events a year"..........

[KIRA]

I'm wondering how long itll take the WWE kills all of Nakamura's fan intrest

lockcaw is a bird's name.

Randy's a face and Sami is a heel. Weird times we're living in.

lockcaw is a bird's name.

Tell us a funny joke, bird

[slik]

I kind of want Jinder to win for the Twitter reactions alone.

[Anybody Thrilla]

FIGHT FOREVER

[Anybody Thrilla]

Sami better tone down that flying around if he wants to get over as a true heel.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow at the table imploding.

Ever since he almost broke one of the Singh Bros in half, Orton really likes doing the backdrop onto tables now.

[Lock Jaw]

Sami Zayn pins Randy Orton! New attitude paying off!

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: Sami pinning Orton.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Didn't think I'd be seeing Sami Zayn pinning Randy Orton this year.

[Savio]

Shane's back so soon?

[rez]

so...eventually Sami goes so crazy that Owens can't handle him anymore?

[slik]

Pretty decent SD imo!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Owens and Sami's post-match celebrations

[Lock Jaw]

Smackdown ending with Kevin Owens yelling "Hug me! Hold me tight!"

[KIRA]

Sami heel turn looking good

[KIRA]

"hug me hold me tight"

[Anybody Thrilla]

There goes my theory about just chicks hugging.

To be fair, she prob'ly had her shoes on.

[Tom Guycott]

Totally like Ziggler's modified theme. Did not know all this time WWE themes were played on a record player.


Well, they had to repurpose that phonograph since The Vaudevillains are no more.

[Cool King]

• I really don't think I could care any less about Owens and Zayn, be it together or separately.

• The Fashion Files was alright but I really hope this is going somewhere. I have a feeling it's all going to end with The Ascension turning on Fandango & Breeze after a period of being their friends.

It's a bit "out-there" but it could also end with The Ascension changing to be more "fashionable". I guess that's one way to reboot the team, because The Ascension as they are right now are going absolutely nowhere.

• My thoughts on Corbin are the same as my thoughts on Owens and Zayn. The sooner he loses the title, the better.

Good to see Sin Cara though. Even better to see him win.

• I would love it if Jinder win at Survivor Series. It most likely won't happen but there's a small chance it could happen. Hardly anyone thought he would be WWE Champion and look where we are now.

If Jinder does win, then shenanigans will most likely be the reason. Someone will probably interfere and go after Lesnar to start an angle with him or something.

• I don't get why Ziggler still has his theme. He cut a few promos about entrances and flashiness and how he doesn't need that and so on, but yet, he comes out to his theme with the record scratch sound (which by the way, is pretty cheesy).

He should be coming out to absolute silence. If he did, then what he's said previously won't make him look like an idiot, like what is happening at the moment.

Why claim you don't need music, bright lights and all that, but then comes out with music, bright lights and a "gimmicky" sound effect? Even if it's just for a short period of time.

• I'm wondering how long itll take the WWE kills all of Nakamura's fan intrest

Well, they already killed mine a good while ago.

With that, I'll say that I skipped the main event as it didn't involve anyone that interests me.

• I'm probably going to find myself skipping the majority of SmackDown now, as it looks like we're going to get Owens & Zayn getting the majority of time on the show every week now.

[Lock Jaw]

Anything on Smackdown you DO enjoy?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Maybe he was hyped about the six woman tag too.

[Cool King]

Anything on Smackdown you DO enjoy?

Yes.

The Usos
Rusev & English
Jinder Mahal
AJ Styles
Natalya
And a little bit of Tamina

[Lock Jaw]

We just found the one person who likes Jinder Mahal

[rez]

We just found the one person who likes Jinder Mahal


UMMmm...Jinder Apprecation Thread over here :fu::shifty::rofl:

[DAMN iNATOR]

I actually really enjoy smarmy, sarcastic Sami. He's got a bit of an edge to him now, and so far, isn't losing to nobodies in the lower card.

[Emperor Smeat]

Apparently the reason why Tom Phillips wasn't at this week's show was due to him getting married. Him being "on assignment" for several weeks is actually for his honeymoon.

[Mr. Nerfect]

* Jinder Mahal, Rusev and Aiden English would make a passable heel faction. Them against The New Day could be a fun undercard thing.

* The Ziggler stuff makes no sense. It's a shame what's happened to him. It's probably time for him to leave.

* Not really enthused about Bobby Roode on the main roster. Good for him. Solid in the ring and the presentation is great. I wonder if you can see it every week without getting sick of it though? He and Ziggler should probably be partners as opposed to feuding.

* I would really like it if AJ Styles won the WWE Title from Jinder Mahal.

* I can see Jinder pinning Brock due to Roman interference. I don't think it will work, but they think Jinder is a big star in India, right? So having Roman be Jinder's buddy also gets him super-over in India, right? Right?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Roode should not be smiling, He should be the most arrogant fuck in the land. The entrance is tailor made for it. Just because people are cheering him doesn't mean they should cut his mystique away. Imagine if Austin was made to start smiling when people started cheering him. He would've sucked. And Roode does now. But he doesn't have to.

That's WWE's modus operandi, though.

Agreeing with Noid about everything here, btw.

[Cool King]

We just found the one person who likes Jinder Mahal

I thought that was common knowledge here.

I've liked Jinder Mahal since day one.

[Cool King]

ish.
